A multifaith peace picnic and prayer service honoring those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, including first responders, victims and their families, will be held on from 6 to 8:15 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 11, at King Plaza, located at 250 Hamilton Ave. in Palo Alto.

The free event is billed as a chance to transform a tragic day into an opportunity for peace and community building. It will feature dinner, children's performances, a multi-faith prayer service and conclude with a candlelight vigil.

Key sponsors include the American Muslim Voice Foundation, state Sen. Dave Cortese and Multifaith Voices for Peace and Justice.
